In an increasingly digital world, cyber threats have become unavoidable, especially given the growing shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals. Sophie’s IT Services Philippines (SitesPhil) addresses this challenge by promoting IT and information security awareness while providing services such as secure web and application development, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing.

As part of this advocacy, SitesPhil launched Hackin’ Ka Na Lang (#HKNL): The Cybersecurity Conference, a free-to-low-cost awareness initiative spearheaded by Benjie Brian Zamora, Founder and Head of IT and Consulting.

The first event, #HKNLLipa2016, was held on February 6, 2016, at Lipa City Hall and became the first cybersecurity symposium in Southern Luzon. Sponsored by CompTIA, the event gathered over 400 students and professionals from Batangas and featured respected leaders in the IT industry.

Through #HKNL, SitesPhil continues its mission to educate, empower, and help build a safer, more security-aware digital community in the Philippines.
